Nope. The DSNs on the volumes will stay on the volumes, and be fully accessable. If they need to be extended onto a new volume, still no problem. If they are every migrated & recalled, they will go to other volumes in the old storage group. Assuming nothing has been done to affect that. Unless, of course, the storage class is "guaranteed space", in which case I think the recall will fail.
